Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

q = quarters       value   = .25 q

n = nickels =  4q     value = .05 (4q)

    summed = 12.60

.25q   + .05(4q) = 12.60      <====== can be used to solve the problem

.45q = 12.60

q = 28     quarters     then nickels = 4q = 112
